This page presents the steps you need to take to complete the survey.

Step 1:

Complete this survey only for the establishment(s) noted on the front cover under "Report for: ." If you are unsure, please call the number(s) listed on the front of this form in the "For Help:" section.

Step 2:

Check "Your Company Name" printed on the front cover. Make any necessary corrections directly on the front cover.

Step 3:

Refer to your establishment's OSHA Forms for Recording Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. Copies of these forms were mailed to you in late 2014.

If you had no work-related injuries and illnesses in 2015, answer all questions in Section 1 and 4 of the survey.

If you had at least one work-related injury or illness in 2015, answer all questions in Sections 1, 2, and 4 of the survey.

Report cases with Days Away From Work (with or without days of job transfer or restriction) in Section 3.

Check any unusual circumstances that might have occurred during 2015 to affect your answers in items 2 or 3. For example, your number of employees grew during 2015 because of growth or the number of hours worked by your employees fell during 2015 because of a strike.

Page 3 - Section 2

Refer to the OSHA Forms for Recording Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses for the location referenced on the front cover of the survey under "Report for this Location." If you prefer, you may enclose a photocopy of your Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300A).

If more than one establishment is noted on the front cover of this survey, be sure to include the OSHA Form 300A for all of the specified establishments.

If any total is zero on your OSHA Form 300A, write "0" in that total's space below.

The total Number of Cases recorded in G + H + I + J must equal the total Injury and Illness Types recorded in M (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6).

Page 5 - Section 3

If you had NO cases with days away from work (Column H) and NO cases with days of job transfer or restriction (Column I), please proceed to Section 4: Contact Information.

If you had cases with days away from work (Column H) and/or cases with days of job transfer or restriction
only (Column I), please complete Section 3. You should report all cases with days away from work (with or without
job transfer or restriction). If your NAICS code begins with: 312, 452, 492, 562, 622, or 721, you should also
report all cases with days of job transfer or restriction (without days away from work). Your NAICS code is
located on the mailing label on the front of this booklet. To identify the individual cases to report, follow
these steps:

Step 1:

Go to your completed OSHA Form 300.
Note each case that has a check in column (H) and/or Column(I). These are the only cases you should report.

Step 2:

Fill out one Injury and Illness Case Form for each case that you identified in Step 1. You can find most of the information on a supplementary document such as the Injury and Illness Incident Report (OSHA Form 301), a workers' compensation report, an accident report, or an insurance form.

Step 3:

If more than one establishment is noted on the front cover under "Report for this Location," be sure to look at all your OSHA Form 300's to find which cases to report.

Step 4:

We have designed this survey to ensure that you do not have to report more than approximately 15 cases. If you have significantly more than 15 cases, please go to Section 5: If You Need Help . . . at the back of this booklet and call the phone number(s) listed for your State for assistance. If you need additional Injury and Illness Case Forms, you may either photocopy a blank form or go to Section 5: If You Need Help . . . at the back of this booklet and call the phone number(s) listed for your State.

Step 5:

When you are finished, proceed to Section 4: Contact Information on the back cover of this booklet and provide information for the person who completed this survey.
